Drew Eubanks

Making his third straight start in place of the injured Domantas Sabonis (knee), Raynaud took on a challenging matchup in the form of Denver's Nikola Jokic. He finished one rebound shy of a double-double and has reached double figures in scoring in four straight games. With Drew Eubanks exiting Thursday's game with a right thumb injury, the Kings will likely need more production from Raynaud as they await Sabonis' return. He's rostered in 23 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and that number may increase ahead of Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.

Eubanks exited Thursday's game after playing just under four first-quarter minutes after suffering a right thumb injury. The severity and how much time he could potentially miss won't be learned until Friday, but Eubanks' exit leaves the Kings light on options in the post. Maxime Raynaud will play plenty, with Precious Achiuwa slotting into the backup center role. That has also opened up rotation minutes for Doug McDermott.

Coming off the best game of his rookie season, Raynaud was rewarded with his first career start on Saturday. To say the 7-foot-1 center held his own would be far, as he recorded a double-double and blocked two shots. Drew Eubanks, who Raynaud replaced in the lineup, logged 11 minutes and finished with four points and two rebounds. As long as the Kings are without Domantas Sabonis, Raynaud will have value in deeper leagues, especially if he continues to start.

Raynaud, who scored a season-high 25 points in Wednesday's loss to the Rockets, will make his first career start in Miami. The second-round pick has outplayed Drew Eubanks, who was the initial replacement for the injured Domantas Sabonis. While this is a challenging matchup for Raynaud, he's worth a look in deep leagues.

On a night when the Kings' starters underwhelmed, Raynaud enjoyed his best game as a pro. Less than a week after scoring 19 points against the Jazz, the rookie center recorded his first 20-point game in Houston. While he may not be Domantas Sabonis' replacement in the starting lineup, Raynaud has more opportunities to contribute with the veteran center sidelined. And his upside is superior to that of Drew Eubanks, who only played ten minutes on Wednesday. Raynaud isn't a must-add just yet, but he deserves a look in deep leagues.
